Geraint Thomas is thinking of not retiring at the end of the current season and could end up renewing one more year with INEOS Grenadiers.
The 36-year-old veteran rider, who will be 37 years old next May, had decided to end his more than successful career at the end of this season. However, according to the always well-informed Ciro Scognamiglio in the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Welshman could reverse that decision. Thus, the possibility of Thomas continuing to ride for INEOS Grenadiers for another year is "on the table".
Geraint Thomas will race again this year, starting today in the Volta a Catalunya to prepare for the Giro d'Italia, a race he will race this year instead of the Tour de France, despite having been on the podium last year. This season the Welshman has only raced the Tour Down Under, finishing 88th overall.
Thus, the winner of the Tour de France in 2018 and other races such as Paris-Nice, the Critérium du Dauphiné, the Tour de Suisse, the Tour de Romandie or the Volta ao Algarve, could still be competing in 2024.

- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.
Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
- He hung on there, in the tour, hell either sink or swim, let's hope the latter!
